My example was incorrect, system needs to be quoted as well, I have fixed my message now.

Anyway, the error is strange, I would have expected an invalid JSON error, which version are you using? (xo-cli --help)

The problem is likely related to quotes and the shell syntax.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with it and cannot help you a lot.

I read somewhere that you should be able to escape quotes by doubling them, that may be worth a try:

"VIFs=json:[{""bootable"":true,""device"":0,""size"":8589934592,""type"":""system""}]"
